This book is designed as a complete guide to manufacturing, installation, inspection, testing and commissioning of process plant piping. It provides exhaustive coverage of the entire piping spool fabrication, including receiving material inspection at site, material traceability, installation of spools at site, inspection, testing and pre-commissioning activities. In nutshell, it serves as a complete guide to piping fabrication and erection. In addition, typical formats for use in piping fabrication for effective implementation of QA/QC requirements, inspection and test plans, and typical procedures for all types of testing are included.

Features:

- Provides an overview of development of piping documentation in process plant design with number of illustrations

- Gives exposure to various codes used in piping and pipelines within its jurisdiction

- Quick reference guide to various applicable sections of ASME B 31.3 provided

- Coverage of entire construction contractors' scope of work with regard to plant piping

- Written with special emphasis on practical aspects of construction and final documentation of plant piping for later modifications/investigations

This book is aimed at mechanical, process and plant construction engineers/supervisors, specifically as a guide to all novices in the above disciplines.

Über Autor(innen)

Sunil Pullarcot is a postgraduate in Mechanical Engineering having more than 38 years of industrial experience, one third of which is in oil & gas industry.

During his career spanning over three and a half decades, he had worked in heavy fabrication and construction industry in a multitude of disciplines like, QA/QC, Engineering (Static & Rotating Equipment), Project Management, Construction Management and Commercial and that too in different roles representing manufacturer/contractor, consultant and finally as owner.

Based on the vivid experience he gathered over years, he established himself as an accomplished trainer on topics related to Pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Storage Tanks, Plant Piping, NDT and Welding. He is in the panel as Training Consultant to NExT, A Schlumberger Company, IBC Academy UK and an Approved ASME Instructor

In his endeavor to pass on the valuable and unique experience he gained over 3 ½ decades to the forthcoming generations, Mr. Pullarcot has so far authored two books in his domain of expertise. They are Practical Guide to Pressure Vessel Manufacturing, published in 2002 and Above Ground Storage Tanks: Practical Guide to Construction, Inspection, and Testing published by CRC Press in 2015.

Apart from the books, he published a few articles in renowned journals like Hydrocarbon Processing, Inspectioneering Journal and World Pipelines published from USA and UK in related topics.

The book Process Plant Piping: Practical Guide to Fabrication, Installation, Inspection, Testing and Commissioning is his latest publication dealing with entire construction activities involved in Process Plant Piping, with all finer details, which often are not documented or considered relevant, especially in view of beginners in this field.

Mr. Sunil Pullarcot is now retired from his last job as Specialist with Kuwait Oil Company and settled back in India.
